Caustic Potash / Potassium Hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide, also known as "caustic potassium", has the chemical formula KOH. Often white flakes. It is easily soluble in water and ethanol, releases strong heat during dissolution, and easily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Used as an analytical reagent in chemical industries such as soap making, papermaking, textiles, printing and dyeing, pharmaceuticals, electroplating, and organic synthesis

1. Adding KOH to the latex system can form a hydrophilic protective layer on the surface of the latex particles, increase the degree of hydration, and improve the mechanical stability of the latex; KOH can be used to adjust the pH value of latex and increase the surface charge of particles
2. Extracting humic acid from coal using KOH
3. Promote the growth of non van der Waals two-dimensional materials
4. Preparation of formic acid
5. Preparation of cholesterol by saponification of lanolin
6. Activating agent
